Sept. 3, 2015 – Readings in Recovery: Today’s Gift from Hazelden

Everyone has a different opinion. No two people look the same. We all are different. Differences can cause us fear and set us apart from others, and we have no idea why.

If addiction closes us down, recovery opens us up. In the program, we learn that we are all more alike than we are different. We learn to look for what we share. We learn that we know so little about ourselves (let alone others) and that judgments are not helpful.

No, dear lady, it doesn’t sound strange at all. I’m hopefully just a carrier of the message, and we can only hope the message speaks to whoever needs it! THANKS so much for reading and taking the time to comment! PS: One day at a time, even one thing at a time, OK?

Yes i am slowly learning that baby steps are the only way that we can make change within ourselves to truly make those changes stick , not because we have chnaged the person that we are but because we had it inside of us all along and we just need to let it shine out rather than be over shadowed by the stronger whims of our character
